First time
When April
12, 1992, Euro Disney opened it's doors in Paris, was that the moment, that our
eldest grandson Ricco, he was that time 2 years old, goes with us to visit
Mickey Mouse.
It was May
8, 1992, and the first time we stayed in the New Port Bay Hotel. All was new in
the hotel.
We left our luggage in the hotel room. We stayed here 3 nights, but that time,
we needed for the little boy.
It was
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and our grandson wanted to see Mickey Mouse and
the others. He looks and looks, he found everything fantastic.
The cars
and the horse-drawn streetcar
,
he wanted to ride them all.
That
afternoon we did not visit any attraction, we just walked and looked around.
The next
day was very tiring for that little fellow, but we had seen everything. Tired
and content we went back home to the Netherlands four days later.
Second
time
The next
time that we went, was sooner than expected. It was
begin of March 1993. The weather was beautiful for the time of the year. We had
5 hours to drive, before we were in Disneyland Paris. At three o'clock in the
afternoon we were
at the hotel. Now we
stayed in Santa Fé Hotel for three days.
We went by bus to the park.
Ricco was
in the meantime one year older. We ate in different places. At Bella Notte he
ate a real Mickey pizza. He love that and drink apple juice. We had only 1 whole
day to visit the park. The first was a half day and the last day is
also a half day. But he let us know, where he like to go in.
He
still enjoyed it very much. We took photos of him with Mickey and Minnie, Goofy,
Chip and Dale and they all signed his book. He bought something for his teacher
and his little sister in the shop before we go home to the Netherlands.
Third time
This time
we went alone in December 1993 for the spirit of the Christmas. It was very cold
and bleak, but that did not harmed us. There was a group singing in the Main
street. The Main street
was decorated and there was a very high Christmas-tree in the middle, of the
square.
Mickey and
Minnie were also in Christmas cloths, with cap and shawl. The parade had a
special Christmas look with Santa Claus in the sleigh, drawing by reindeers.
We stayed
now also in the New Port Bay Hotel for 1 night. The hotel had also the
Christmas-look. The next day we had seen 2 shows and we went home early that
afternoon, because the very bad weather.
Fourth time
Now it is
February 1994, this time, his little sister Chardonnay goes with us. She is just
two years old and we go to the New York Hotel. It's raining very hard and in the
hotel is Pluto waiting for us. He plays with the children and than we going to
our room. It's late in the afternoon, but they want to go to the park. First we
must buy yellow capes for the children.
The rain
harmed the children not at all. And they want to see Mickey and Minnie.
One profit
had the rain, it's decided not busy in the park. It became dark and we are
eating in Festival Disney.
In the
evening, before we went to bed, we go downstairs to the swimming pool. Later on
they sleep so quickly, because they were so tired.
It's
raining not any more the next day. We had breakfast with the Disney characters
in the Disney hotel. From eating, no way, but they had a lot of fun. Pluto
picked up a strawberry from the plate of our granddaughter, who protested
violent. Then came Chip and Dale standing by our table. We took pictures from it
and tried to let the children eat something.
About 10
o'clock in the morning we went to the park. The little girl she want to do
nothing, but later on, we must take her away from the attractions, while we will
see some more. In the afternoon we saw the Aladdin parade.
Pictures on this page.
Ends of
this day.The next day we went back home by car in the afternoon, but they will
coming back.
October 1-
1994 Euro Disneyland changed his name in Disneyland Paris.
Fifth time
Disneyland Paris was five years old. Now we want to join that.
So we are going with the whole family to Paris, by the end of March 1997. This
time the tickets were different, before we had always the same tickets.
Because we did not stay in the Sequoia Lodge, we had now made
the reservations for this hotel this weekend. We had three rooms.
We had split up us in two groups, the adults without children,
and the parents with the children. We stayed by the grandchildren and there
parents.
At half past two we meet each other by the castle, for the
parade.
About six o'clock in the evening we went out for dinner. We
made that in Disney Festival by Los Angels Bar & Grill. The personal was singing
and dancing on the tables and asked to do the same thing. Now that was what
certainly for the grandchildren, what they normally did not do at home, and now
to do in a restaurant
After dinner we waited for the
electrical parade.
The next morning, before breakfast, the half of the party was
going to swim. The end of the day, we went all together at home.
Another successful weekend in Disneyland Paris.
Sixth time
In the meantime it was 1999. And yes we are going again with
the grandchildren Ricco and Chardonnay to Paris. Now we stayed in Hotel Cheyenne
for three days.
The children had Christmas holiday.
In
our room was a bed and one above that bed. Every night they changed from bed,
then the girl in the upstairs bed, and the other night the boy.
They could dream the park inside and outside, they still love
it. That evening we went to Buffalo Bill. the dinner spectacular show.
They were now old enough for that show. The food they don't
like it, but the show they loved it. We get a hat and some extra chocolates.
About 8 o'clock was it finished.
The next day we saw the show
"Mickey
Winter Wonderland".
And
we saunter through the park, shopping for the baby-brother, who was at home. It
take a while, but then they found the right thing and they bought it.
Again alone with the two of us. And now not in a Disney hotel.
But in the neighborhood of the park. Now we had also a parking ticket, what you
never get or buy.
It's
begin of January 2000, but there was also many people in the park. The weather
was not so good it's misty. But who cares. Full good spirit we went into the
park. Outside it was not very pleasant, so we went shopping.
What was very good for my collection, beanies and pottery
images. I saw something, I did not had.
We looked for the parade and drove early to our hotel that
day. The next day the weather was not better, so we went at home 12 o'clock
in the afternoon.On the way we ate something.
Eighth
time
With the caravan on the way to Spain for a couple of months,
but first we want to go to Disney. Now we had booked the Davy Crockett Ranch,
for 3 night.
The weather was dry, but the sun was not shining, it was
April 3, 2001.
The camping was a little bit bald, with many trees on the
ground, because of the storm of last year. The camping was then closed. On the
place we had our own water and electric, and a barbeque. But it was to cold to
do a barbeque. We came for Tooncircus.
We had a ticket for one day, and the next day we want to go to
the new shopping mall Vall d'Europe. It was dry that day and Tooncircus became
at 4 and 6 o'clock, by dry weather. The parade was past, it was a little bit
raining. At 4 o'clock the rain fall out the sky so heavy and it looks like, that
the rest of the day will be the same.
So no Tooncircus. We must coming back later in the summer time
for it..
